Nice cat though, will be interesting to see what it was!

What kind of trees are those in the background? It looks like the boat is made out of them

On a more serious note... Whilst I know nothing - zero - nowt about hull design... Does anyone else think that the steps look really far forward?

perhaps JC could be enticed back with the promise of an historic cat class, the CTC would then truly be back to former glory ... incorporating that could keep ML and others busy over those long winter months

I remember having to give that a tow in St Peter Port Harbour when I was a kid in my dad's old boat, as they couldn't manouvre it away from the key with the surface drives hanging out the back. Powerboat week used to be the highlight of my year, I wish they'd pull their finger out and bring it back!

Just them and an equally immaculate Follett in class one I think not sure when Tekne / Cougar last raced that was a great looking boat as well.
